Dan Osborne ‘reveals reason’ why Rodrigo Alves left Celebrity Big Brother

He said he didn't appreciate Rodrigo's actions

Dan Osborne has alleged Rodrigo Alves left Celebrity Big Brother because he did “something inappropriate”.

Show bosses previously confirmed Rodrigo, dubbed the Human Ken Doll due to his extensive plastic surgeries, was removed from the house for a “further incident” which wasn’t revealed to viewers.

Rodrigo had earlier on the show been given a formal and final warning for “highly offensive language” after using the N-word twice.

Dan, who bagged third place in the show’s final on Monday night, didn’t offer much explanation about the alleged incident in question but said he didn’t “appreciate” Rodrigo’s actions.

He told The Sun: “There was an incident in the house, it was just something inappropriate, I didn’t appreciate it.”

Dan went on to say he didn’t want to elaborate more because he knows what it’s like to have bad stories told about him in the media.

He added: “I don’t really want to talk about it. I’ve had stories told about me, so I know it’s not nice. I don’t want to do that to anyone else. It wasn’t scary for me, just uncomfortable.”

ED! has contacted representatives for CBB and Rodrigo for comment.

Rodrigo was removed from the house just over a week after he entered.

A representative for the show said at the time: “After a further incident, Rodrigo has been removed from the Big Brother house and will not be returning.”

A source claimed to The Sun the incident that led to the reality star being told to leave was so shocking it would never be aired.

However, shortly after his departure, Rodrigo claimed it was his decision to quit the show as he wasn’t “coping very well”, rather than being asked to leave.

He told the publication: “I was not coping very well to be without my mobile phone and not being in contact with my family and friends.”

Rodrigo said after he felt “very upset” after housemate Natalie Nunn was evicted because she was “the life and soul in the house”.

He said: “I’m no longer interested in the show or anything to do with it. Simply because it wasn’t for me.”

Rodrigo later told the Mail Online that he decided to walk as he was worried about his well-being.

He explained: “I demanded to leave. I was going to scale the wall if I wasn’t allowed to leave.

“I didn’t like it. My co-stars were boring, dirty and I had nothing in common with them. I was claustrophobic.

“I had to get up early and stay up late. I didn’t understand why people were in there.”

Rodrigo added: “I was worried about how I was being edited. I felt it didn’t feel like a TV show. I was worried about my well-being because I was tired and out of the loop.”

During his time in the house, Rodrigo was reprimanded during an episode that aired on August 17 after he used the N-word, telling Dan he was not attracted to him as he was “too white”.

During the exchange, Rodrigo added twice that he would prefer a “[expletive] boy”.

Following the incident, which received more than 1,000 Ofcom complaints, Rodrigo was summoned to the diary room where he was told his language was “unacceptable” and that if he used it again he would be removed from the house immediately.

At the time Rodrigo blamed being excited and drunk for his use of the racial slur and added that he regretted using it.
